Great America-Best In Northern California Family Fun!

California's Great America

If
you’re a resident of Northern California, then you already know how lucky we
are to live in a place rich in culture, art and family fun.With today’s tough economic times and rising
gas costs, it can be almost impossible to find an affordable place close to
home where the entire family can laugh and play together.

Nestled an hour south of San Francisco, in
the heart of Silicon Valley is the perfect place for a day of family
entertainment and fun- California’s Great America part of the Northern California
Bay Area since 1976. My family and I were treated to a fulfilled day last
weekend at California’s Great America which is now part of the Cedar Fair
Entertainment Group and are in total agreement when we say that this is
Northern California’s biggest and best choice for world-class family fun and
thrills.

Being coaster fanatics, of course our first stop was the new Gold Striker, the
tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster in Northern California. Throughout
the day, we were kept busy by the plethora of thrill rides the park had to
offer but as a grandma and kindergarten teacher, I was even more delighted in
the Peanut’s themed KidZville and Planet Snoopy area that featured Snoopy and
his friends in a well laid out and fun self contained area of it’s own that
ensured that even the smallest of visitors has just as great a time as the
teens and adults while visiting the park.

You never have to ride a single ride to enjoy the day at Great America.
With a full range of entertainment scheduled throughout the summer and the
return of Snoopy and the gang in the summer ice spectacular Happiness Is Snoopy! California’s there
truly is something for everyone. Food choices were plentiful with such fares
from Subway and Panda Express to amazing and delicious eating choices
throughout the park.

Did you know that Great America is home to the most rides
and most water rides in Northern California? Plus, it is the only theme park in
California to offer a complete water park inside – free with park admission. For
not much more than the cost of a one day ticket, you can enjoy Great America
all summer long with a Season Pass which includes extra benefits such a payment

ability to play all summer long.

The new free interactive app made navigation

the ultimate Halloween extravaganza featuring walk-through mazes, scare zones,
and Halloween themed rides and shows. What are you waiting for? Great America
